Flowing evidence....

Actually, I all too rarely see any of my colleagues really flowing the cards

My answer: I vote on the arguments that are made. That may seem simplistic
but I think to do otherwise increases the amount of intervention. Lately, I
have stopped calling for any evidence unless it is disputed or there has been
some kind of comparison made in the debate. After I have made my decision I
will look at evidence that for some reason I wanted to see while I was making
my decision but when I noticed that evidence had never been discussed I
didn't call for it. I am amazed at all of the arguments (existing in the
evidence) that could have been made that never were. This policy has
reaffirmed my belief that calling for cards makes it more likely that I will
make arguments that weren't in the debate.
I welcome your comments.

The more people know, the more likely it is that they will vote for Pick at
least 20.
